Ballistic Programs Variation

I sure miss iStrelok. That program never failed. Have been test running Hornady and GeoBallistic.
Hornady seems to work great. I'm not the best at working my way around Geo yet. Have any of you found the output to be close when comparing both ?

I used Geo for a while, but switched to Shooter and haven't looked back.

I run Ballistic AE for iPhone, has never led me wrong and I've been using it for years now. Has a great bullet database and is upgraded regularly. It's not free, but you only pay once.

Cheers.

I have strelok on two devices, works great. What is the issue?

When you upgrade devices it does not transfer any longer.

Crap, I'll pass on upgrading then.

G'day Magnum, Does Ballistic AE support Hammer Bullets? T/U, Jas

Yeah….

Or upgrade your device as needed ….but then keep your old device as a dedicated STRELOK unit! I've done that (or shall I say … had to do).

Good question, I will have to look. I will add a yes or no. Yes.It does, not every type, calibre or weight, but they are there.
However, it is very simple to add whatever bullet you want if you have the BC.

Cheers.

If you email the Russian, he will show you what you need to do, to transfer the program.

It is still available on the Galaxy store. $10. I put it on my new android about 2 months ago.

Curious how you did that? For most of us in US and Canada Strelok is hidden while we 'Stand With Ukraine'.

My understanding is that Strelok was banned from the app stores because he is Russian. Sanctions, LOL. If you run Android, you can download it directly from his site and install it . You'll have to go into phone settings and "allow outside apps". Works fine. If you have an iPhone you can't install outside apps and are SOL.

I sprung for Strelok Pro because it can push drop data to my smartwatch, which is kind of a handy feature.

That said, the reason I finally gave up and got a smartphone, in 2010 I think it was- was to be able to run Shooter. Have been very happy with it, and for 10 bucks it's a steal. The bullet library is a little stale, so data for newer bullets isn't there but it's easy enough to input the data yourself.

Option 1 - I used software called Imagic for the iPhone and I was able to move it from iPhone to iPhone. You have to use Imagic on the iPhone that has Strelok currently on it. It backs the software up and then allows you to keep it for future device installs. You install the software using Imagic and not the App Store from that point forward for Strelok.

Option 2 - is an app called Chain Gun, it's eerily quite similar in look, etc to Strelok. Supports seems good as well.
